One-Line Graduation Advice

On PostSecret this week, Frank has left the comments open for people to post one-liners of advice to new graduates. I'm reading through the 800+ comments, and trying to relate some of them to my own life and my own goals and dreams, now that I'm finally finished (my first degree).

I say...Hurray! I never thought that I'd ever actually be done. I made it, and I made it alive, which didn't seem possible at several different stages.
I wish a certain few people were here to see it, Rob, Gramma and Grampa, SKM. I'm thankful for the time I did have with them, though.
